Henschotermeer, Recreational lake in Woudenberg, Netherlands
The Henschotermeer spans 70 hectares of land, including 13 hectares of water surface surrounded by dense forest in the Utrechtse Heuvelrug region.
The lake emerged in the 1930s through sand extraction for the A12 motorway construction, transforming from a sand drift area into a water recreation destination.
The lake attracts 600,000 visitors annually who gather for swimming, beach activities, and winter skating when conditions permit.
Visitors can access the lake daily from 8:30 until sunset, with entry tickets required from April through September and free admission during autumn and winter.
A 2.5-kilometer walking path encircles the lake, connecting to two footbridges that lead to an island within the water body.
